341 Chilli

341 is a high-colour hybrid chilli grown widely in the Guntur belt; its best-known line is US 341 from the seed company Nunhems, which describes the dry pods as brilliant red with colour values up to 125 ASTA and medium pungency. It carries both colour and heat, which makes it a strong all-round choice for chilli powders.
